paper says:
1.-THE committee tina. has rented BatteryiD
Hall for the grand celebration in December is
compelled to fight this nsidious mob, which, in
the free consciousness of its guilt. dare not APP

pidity and villainy. AS they were ready to give
up blood and life for the constitution and the
liberty of speech guaranteed by it, thus will
stand fast and true when John Clay steps
the platform and speaks to the working people

were true Turner'S that spoke in that strain. and
we entertain the firm hope that those Turner'S,

Gustave Stephen and Siegfried Rosenweie
testified that they heard Mosts speech. and that
it did not contain the incendiary language al

he is an Anarchist or not. and did not exactly
know what Anarchy is, although he has been
studying the subject for eight years: He testi-
fed that Dreyfus, the reporter who testified

hour before it ended
